On how to get to the top with multiple jobs

The wind blows gently.

It was an extremely gentle summer wind, and when it blew on the body, it was warm and made people feel comfortable and drowsy.

The last few minutes of the sun shone on the body, and the child in the black and green plaid jacket looked up. Sure enough, the smoke from the cabin in the forest not far away had already risen.

"Brother?" The sister next to him gently grabbed his clothes and asked in a childlike voice, looking at her brother with watery pink eyes, silently urging him to continue playing with her.

But his elder brother just stared at the distance quietly for a while, then put aside the branch he was gesturing, and erased the weird drawings he had made.

"The sun is setting, it's time to go back." Standing up, the boy imitated his mother's example and patted his and his sister's clothes, sweeping away the dust that accidentally got on them.Then, with unsteady steps, he stumbled through a small bush and walked in the direction of home.

The moment he walked out of the jungle, he felt a strange sense of weightlessness on his shoulders.Along with it is the smell that lingers on the tip of the nose.

It's a sweet, refreshing...

Is it the smell of water?

It smells...so fragrant.Just by smelling it, I feel that my saliva is constantly secreting.At the same time, it was the urge in my mind, to look, to see what it was, to eat, to eat that thing that exudes a wonderful smell.

He turned his head, and in front of him was the bushes he had just walked through.Nothing else.

He smelled it carefully again, and there was only the smell of food from home in the air.

The little girl led by him held her fingers in her mouth, tilted her head and asked vaguely, "Brother, what's your coat?"

The coat is gone.

It's so strange, obviously he was wearing it all the time, how could it suddenly disappear?

The boy rubbed his nose: "You stand here and wait for me, I'll look back."

The little girl puffed her face and held her brother's hand tightly: "No——I want to be with my brother!"

...Ah, let's take my sister home first, and then go out and look for it myself.

He opened the door, shouted "I'm back" with his sister, and then ran to the kitchen and said to his mother, "Mom, Mom, I'm going out for a while."

"What's wrong, Tanjirou?"

"I'm going to find my coat. It must be hanging on a branch."

"Okay. Don't go too far, come back if you can't find it."

After the words conveyed the proper information, the boy who was only seven or eight years old ran out.

It's strange, he thought, why I've searched all the bushes around the house and can't find a coat... Where is my coat?

Is it the place where I just played with my sister?

He walked into the woods.

It was that strange smell again.

He took a deep breath.

It smells so good.What is it?No no no, stop thinking about it.Look for the coat first, and if you find the coat, go home quickly.If I don't go back, my mother will be worried.

——This little boy is called Kamado Tanjiro.

He is the first child of Zaomen's family.

Growing up in the cabin, he didn't show any special talents, but if you insist, he has a distinctive nose-and possibly eyes.

He can smell many things that normal people can't detect by just relying on his sense of smell.The beast-like sense of smell allows him to avoid many risks, which also makes his parents always feel a little more at ease with him.

And the eyes.

He has no supernatural vision, no eyes that can see into the future, and no other strange abilities.

But his eyes can see many, many things that don't exist.

Not scary ghosts.If I had to describe it, it was a bunch of weird, insect-like things.

He had told his parents about this, and his father said thoughtfully that it might be a group of mountain elves, while his mother was a little worried and said that this was not a normal thing.

The people in the mountains believe some strange stories.Like something that can see weird children being shunned or something.

In short, in order to reassure his parents, he never mentioned it again.

He secretly called this group of strange things in his heart—worms.

Some are big and some are small.The big ones can tower over the sky, and the small ones are just like a strand of hair.And always walk quietly and silently.He felt like an insect.These creatures have no idea what they're up to.Or maybe they're not busy at all, just looking for food... anyway, who knows.

But anyway, since it looks like an insect, let's call it a worm.

insect.

When he was looking for his coat and thinking wildly, a pair of old hands stretched out in front of him.

There is a strange, small dish without any lines in his hand.The color of the dish is thick, not like the green that can be imitated in the world.

"This is called a lamp."

The cup contained a sparkling golden liquid.

That kind of gold is so gorgeous, even better than those gold embroidered clothes Tanjiro saw.

"It's called light wine."

Light wine?

Light wine.

Many voices echoed with chuckles: "Light wine."

At some point, creatures that he named worms gathered around to look at them.They were flying around...but they never touched them.

"Light wine is a product of nature. It is the blood flowing in the veins of light. It is a creature called light wine by insect masters. It exists underground and gathers into light veins. It is the true source of life. From the world At the beginning of its appearance, it gurgles and flows. The land where it is located is lush and vibrant, and the area it bypasses is barren and barren. Everything is born from it. Everything ends with it. We specially made this wine cup, just so that you can Drink light wine—"

"Please drink it."

drink it.

As long as you take a sip of that fragrant breath, you will forget to think, and as long as you take a sip, you want to give up yourself.You can be attracted by smelling it from a distance, and you can covet it for a long time.And at this moment, it was right in front of him.

The man said it was prepared for him.

Tanjiro caught the cup.He seemed to be holding something precious and unique in the world.So he was careful.He tilted the lamp slightly, but he didn't want to let the so-called light wine fall to the ground.

Those old hands were retracted long ago.

The owner of the hand wears a black, completely opaque cloak.

Tanjiro paused.

He raised his head and said, "Take it back. Such a precious thing..." I can't drink it.

His words stuck.

It turned out that the dusk had already fallen, but he was ignorant of it.In this dark, unseen forest, there are people sitting around.Only he and the man who passed the wine cup to him stood.All "people" wear black cloaks.The long hem sweeps the floor, covering all the skin that can be exposed.And these "people" looked at him full of hope, but...

no face.

They all have no face.

But Tanjiro somehow knew that they had no ill intentions towards him.

So instead of running away, he just recaptured his words and said, "I can't drink."

Big drops of tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and they fell to the ground along the arc of the child's face.Like round pearls, crystal clear.

... Although he had already burst into tears, he didn't know why he was crying.

Weird, right?Humans are amazing creatures.Some people have been sleepy for a long time, but still can't vent their sleepiness by drinking and having fun, but when they see the cliff, they can suddenly burst into tears.Some people stop and go across the plain mountains, but weep silently when they see the sea.Can this be explained?Can this be told?

Light wine is such an unexplainable existence.

When you see it, you will think of your mother's caress and father's comfort over the years, you will think of the mountains and plains you have seen, the opportunities and inevitable choices you have accepted or missed.

with your life.

You see life flowing in and out.

with you, and this whole world.

The person standing beside him lowered his body and gently wiped away his tears: "This is what we prepared for you. This is the proof that the creatures of this mountain love you. You don't have to be ashamed, troubled, or rejected. Drink it It. This is the mountain lord's favorite."

Those who sat nodded to him.

Their flickering light is very bright, but it is not as good as the light wine.

"I, I—" Tanjiro wanted to say something, but the guy who might be human said softly: "Please drink what we gave you——."

Tanjiro was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the wine cup.

He raised his hand and drank the light wine in the cup in one gulp.

……

"I, I shouldn't have let him go out alone to find a coat..." Zaomen Kuizhi cried and hugged the boy's quilt tightly, "I should have gone with him..."

"I'll look for it again." Zamon Tanjuro coughed again, and it took a long time for him to calm down.He took an ax casually and planned to go out to have a look again.

This is the third night that the eldest son has been missing.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Zamon Tanjuro opened the door.A silver-haired man was standing at the door of their house, holding the quiet Tanjiro in his arms.

The silver-haired man took a puff of his cigarette, hugged the child with one hand and said, "My name is Yin Gu, and I'm an insect master."

"—Your boy drank a marvelous thing. With all due respect, I'm afraid he won't be back for some time."
